I also have a layer cake of my latest fabric line ‘A Field Guide’ for you to win and a video of a technique I use that isn’t widely known. So, without further ado here we go…

I love drawing with my sewing machine.

I love my fountain pen. My lovely husband gave it to me and I write in it every single day and I even draw all my fabric designs in it too.

I don’t like black (never use it) and so spend too much money on fancy grey ink.

I love that Moda accept my hand drawn, fountain pen designs and don’t make me re-draw them in Illustrator or Photoshop!

I love to draw my own feather quilting patterns. I’m sure I didn’t invent this technique (my brain just isn’t wired that way) but typically can’t find any reference to it on the internet now I need to!

So, here’s my video tutorial on how to design a feather quilting template.

Enjoy!

The Moda designers were all asked to create a quilt in their latest line of fabric using the exact same pattern.

I love how different all the quilts are! I put bugs and bunnies on mine.

Your drawings with thread are lovely. I really like your bird. I love my family, I love quilting, I love taking walks in the mtns and listening to the wind in the pine trees. And I love these Moda blog hops! Thanks for participating.

I love fabric – love the feel of good fabric, the sight of it. The smell of it (usually). Love that I can sit and sew with my animals around me. Love that there’s always another project (or 150) waiting in the wings.

First and foremost, I LOVE the Lord! Next, I LOVE my family and friends. After that, I love creating beautiful quilts for my family and friends. Thanks for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabric! I think this is the perfect quilt pattern to use it with. The pieces are large enough to see your beautiful illustrations.

I love dancing. My boyfriend is a great dancer. He was in the navy in 1967 and went to balls. He was on the Presidential Yacht for Nixon. I enjoy dancing with him. Sometimes it just helps to relieve tension and frustration when you play music and dance by yourself. Thank you for being a part of Moda Love and the chance to win that awesome layer cake of yours.

I love having a day off where I have nothing that I have to do other than what I want. On those days, I feel so much freer to be creative and you never know where that may lead. Thanks for a great giveaway!

I loved reading all the things you love – like you, I have a long list! But since I can only choose one thing, I am going to say I love the relationship I have with my sister…we are so much alike, it is she who taught me to quilt – and I so cherish the time we spend together! Thanks for the chance to win!

It never occurred to me to make line drawings and then thread stitch over them, I’ll have to give it a try. I love Autumn in New England. I have lived my entire life in the Midwest but try to go back east to New England ever fall. Something about it just refreshes my soul.

Vintage and traditional patterns are my favorite…especially stars. I love stars and snowflake-type patterns. And purple, and chocolate. this is a great pattern for a star and I love the size options. Thanks for sharing and thanks to Moda!

I love Autumn: the smell of damp earth and leaves in the woods; the colours of the leaves; the toadstools; the sound of beech nuts underfoot. It’s hard to recreate the feeling in words or art, but although Autumn makes some people sad, it gives me peace and inspiration.

I love and adore my three year old grandchildren, two girls and a boy – a perfect family all at once. They inspire me to take care of myself so I can grow old slowly and enjoy every moment of their growth.

I love sitting at my sewing machine, beautiful music in the background, working on a quilt. I’ve only made two so far, but I am absolutely hooked! And I have plans for that gorgeous field guide cake… 😉

I love creating things, knitting, spinning or quilting. Then there going for walks with my camera toke pictures which I use as inspiration for my creations.
I working on my drawing skills, I may need to try a fountain pen.

I LOVE my granddaughter, Alana! She is our only grandchild, she lives with us, and she’s into every kinda of arty thing you can imagine(incl my fav sewing/quilting)…everyone thinks we are so wonderful because we are raising her, but we are the blessed ones…she is a bright shining treasure in our lives!

I love to take pieces of fabric that my 9 year old granddaughter loves, cut them up into small pieces and put them back together into a quilt that she can wrap around herself. It is like giving her a hug whenever she needs it.

I love traveling the countryside, drinking in the beauty of the fields and flowers. We recently returned from a 2000 mile trip and it was intoxicating to see so much of our own beautiful country. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love quilting and hunting for sea glass at the beach! I am very smitten with the idea that you can walk through fields and the beach and find pottery! I also love anything from England! So fun to “meet” you! Thanks for sharing! cheers, colette

I love to sit outside and read books, actual books, especially those that comfort. I love my chickens and spend time with them every day. I recently had to give some away and I was very sad. That’s when I enjoyed reading. Thank you for this lovely giveaway and for the quilting tip.

Janet,
Thank you for a chance to win some gorgeous fabrics.
Most of my family have now gone on and I love their memories–each was so very different, kind, loving, & humble. I never feel alone because of these cherished memories–often bringing a big laugh. I am so thankful & grateful for them.
And, I love putting on my wellies & trudging down the lane in the rain; either the walk, the rain, or simply being outside in the elements relaxes me & I conjure up new artsy projects.
Thank you Janet for asking.

I love sewing, especially clothes for me and things for my house. I would love sewing clothes for my boys, but my effort is completely wasted on them. I know that I am GOING to love sewing for my grandbabies, one day in the far, far distant future.

I love everything about fall. The colors, the smells, the crispness of the air, etc. I could go on and on. In quilting my passion is applique. Well really anything hand stitched. Your drawings remind me of my dad’s art. He was very talented as you are.

What do I love you ask? So, so many things…but my family tops the list. Speaking of family, my son has his masters in biology and I am thinking your FIELD GUIDE fabric would make the perfect quilt for him. What do you think?

Other then friends, family and quilting I love birds. My Grandson told me last summer I had 3000 “friends” he had to help me feed. He might be a little over estimating but he loves Grandma’s Humming birds the best, after the dogs of course.

I love your extraordinary, unique, talent. I love the way that, when I came to your workshop, I could just say, “Please can you draw me a…..?”, and it was there, just as I felt it should be. I love the way your sewing is so beautifully executed, not “perfect”, and, as you say yourself, not meant to be and not NEEDING to be. I love the way you make me feel able to make amazing, expressive, individual pieces, too. I love all your patterns, and books, and fabrics, and am so delighted by your success, and I love the excitement of looking forward to what you are doing now, to what will be printed next, whether patterns or fabric. And most of all, I love our friendship, and our shared enthusiasm for small black spaniel-girls! Xx

I love too many things to list them all. But mostly I love when my 3yr old daughter is playing nicely by herself and I am enjoying a cup of French Earl Grey tea and checking out my favourite creative blogs. Very relaxing!

I love when I have the whole day to myself…I hang out in my sewing room working on beautiful quilt projects. I also love when I am sitting under my Ott light sewing the binding on a quilt that is nearly a finish!

I love being almost retired and having time to do quilting, knitting, crocheting and stitching, even staying up really late at night crafting and not having to think about how early I have to get up to get to work.

I love winter and the things that come with it – like meeting my husband in town after work to go to the Christmas time continental market, getting hot chocolate with marshmallows, wearing a new pair of gloves, putting up my Christmas trees, buying a new coat and pair of boots, walking home from work and getting my face blown off. I also love fabric giveaways!!

I love fabric, and cats, and my DH. I also love trees. Particularly, bare trees silhouetted against an evening sky. I have tons of photos I’ve taken of trees across the country. One day I will make a tree quilt.

I love hummingbirds and music. My house is filled with hummingbird things, and I feed them all summer while they visit Pennsylvania. I also play some average and some odd instruments like the Mountain dulcimer, the hammered dulcimer, guitar, autoharp, pennywhistle, bowed psaltery and I’m just learning to play the ukelele. My hobbies are crocheting, quilting, and embroidery. Thanks for this awesome giveaway. 🙂

I love quilting with the help of my Shih-Tzu dogs. They are such great helpers. One loves to help me by eating scraps (of fabric, that is), so needless to say, I have a very clean and picked up sewing room.

I love hand stitching – embroidery, big stitch quilting, traditional quilting – and I just discovered the love of all things handwork last year! Now trying to make up for lost time… I also love thread sketching by machine, and will continue to do that. So inspired by yours!

I have a passion for gardening and I love a “messy” garden where I bunch up flowers rather than a planting in a straight line. Your story about finding “treasures” on your walks appealed to me. Thanks for the opportunity to win some of your fabric.

I love all these things and love that you have written so sweetly about them! I am going to have to buy a fountain pen now! 🙂 I also love/adore my wonderful husband, 6 children, 7 grandchildren, nature, fall, earth tones, Christmas, music, inspiring words and the list could go on!

I love having a creative outlet and that it allows me to make things for those I love. Last night I modified some dress ups to make a gruffalo costume for my daughter for book week. Her face when she saw it was gold

I LOVE fabric. I love to touch it and feel it and play with it and organize it. I have worked in a fabric store at least part time since high school. I have all my fabric wrapped on mini bolts in cabinets and in color order. Often I will just sit there with the doors open staring at all my beautiful fabric getting ideas and inspiration. My husband is always like what are you doing and I reply looking at my fabric and he just shakes his head and walks away.

Love how you draw things. I have never had that talent and I envy ones who do. I love to sew and quilt and stitch. If it has to do with thread and needles I am all for it. Thank you for your inspiration.

Great video. Love the idea and the ending was super cute.
Gosh, I love many things, but right now since it the one thing I look forward to every single morning is my little visitor. One of our grandchildren and her parents live with us and have since the granddaughter was only 4 months old. She’s now going to be 3 yrs old come next February and makes me laugh and smile every single day. She LOVES coming to sit with Grandma in the sewing room. My sewing room is the very first place she goes when she gets out of bed every morning. Since she could first walk she’d come in to see me and would grab squares of fabric to play with. Back then she had a little purse she’d carry around all day long and it was packed with her little fabric collection. She’d pull it out and play with them and show whoever she was sitting near all her pretty fabric. Now she tries walking off with my fat quarters but yea, that doesn’t get past Grandma’s eyes. LOL I just LOVE the fact she’s so interested in fabrics and all the colors and that it is also something I’ve been using to teach her colors as well.

One of the things I love that we share an interest in is fountain pens. (Wonder which one yours is!) This year I discovered Noodler’s Ink inks, and one in particular called Apache Sunset, which has fantastic shading.

I LOVE it when creative people share their inspirations and ideas with total strangers. Seeing the world through other eyes opens up a huge world of possibilities and I love traveling further down that road.

I love making people smile, laugh and generally happy all around. I have managed to do this with some of the quilts I have given to my family, and hope to bring tears to my next recipient. But happy, joyful, love filled tears. I’m making something very special for my sister-in-law and can’t wait to finish it and give it to her! I’m hoping by Christmas!

I love my life…. I love walking outdoors in every kind of weather…. I love finding things.. like feathers and leaves and shells…. I love creating… especially crocheting and sewing.. and gardening… and canning… and thinking about the things I love 🙂

I love that you share your lovely drawings with us. I love the outdoors – looking out over the lake at the beautiful sunset with the loons feeding off the end of the dock, the hummingbirds at the feeder and the orioles at the jelly station

I love period dramas, especially the BBC ones. Yesterday was heaven, I found a station that ran Jane Eyre followed by Pride and Prejudice! Those films are my favorite things to watch while I do handwork.

I never thought that I would say it, but yes I love fabric. I have only been quilting for almost 2 years now. I seem to fall in love with many Moda collections about every 6 months. I never realized that with each Market would come more unbelievable fabric collections. My sister-in-law thinks that I have enough. But I don’t. There’s always more to come. Thank you!

I love to drift off to sleep by designing quilts! I choose fabrics and patterns and think about backing and bindings! So much more fun than counting sheep!I also love to write with a fountain pen, especially using turquoise ink! I love your penguin patterns from this spring – I need to make a special pillow for my lawyer daughter, whose favorite things are penguins! Thanks for the pattern!

I love a lazy Sunday when I can wake up late and stay in my PJ’s all day while I sip a cup of coffee and sew the hours away creating wonderful gifts of love made from beautifully designed Moda fabrics.

Your handiwork is fantastic! I am a sewer and quilt maker. I do some crafts. I fell in love with quilt making back in 1977 and I been in love with it all these years. thanks for a chance at some lovely fabric!
Patty

I love my two great grandsons ages 2 and 1. They are so precious, funny, entertaining, spoiled, etc.! I also love quilting with my sister. We get together as often as possible and spend the day quilting. So much fun!

I love finally having time to create and finish projects now that my eleven kids are raised and the baby (ha ha) is in college. Quilting and working with fabric is so fun. Thank you for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabric.

I love coffee and my Kindle loaded full of good books and a rainy day with a good fire in the fireplace. And all the kids are happily active somewhere else. Oh, and my house has been recently cleaned up and the dog was already walked.

I love the month of the month of July when all of the does bring their new fawns out of their 2 months of hiding. The world is a fresh canvas to their eyes. They romp and chase each other through our yard and pasture. They make me laugh out loud at their antics and the world seems somehow renewed.

I love blog hops!And fabric auditioning. And being organised. And finding just the right tutorial for something you want to make. And finding quilt/fabric shops everywhere I visit. And holidays (Boston and Cape Cod next week…yay!). And Fridays. And clean sheets. And new socks.

I love my dogs, and walking with them through the changing seasons of the year; but especially autumn. I love autumn, every part of it – the colors, the scents, the crisp cool air. I love to make quilts using autumn colors.

I love fabric – the feel of it, the colours and textures and the endless possibilities to create quilts, bags, cushions, small monsters etc. to give to friends and family to show how much I appreciate them.

This morning I’m loving the quietness of the early morning. I’m also loving the picture of the layer cake you are giving away. I do love fabric with script. If the top fabric showing is any indication of the other fabric, I’m sure its a wonderful line. I also enjoyed you tutorial on making a feathers template. The technique is totally new to me. Thanks

When I visit my family, I cannot wait to see my beautiful grandchildren. I love how we all get together at the table and pay cards (old maid), paint, and mostly love to hear them laugh. How I love spending time with my family. Judith, Texas

I love my family, friends, fabric and faith! The four F’s! I have been fortunate in my life to be able to work from home for over 25 years and I am grateful every day! And I love layer cakes … both fabric and baked!

I love fall. I love warm summer evenings, but even now as the weather is turning it makes me look forward to cozy nights at home, burning candles, or lighting a fire in the fireplace, leaves changing colour.

First, I love that bird!
One of my first loves was sewing/dressmaking. I would stay up all night to sew a new dress for the next day.
The other is figure drawing/painting. I love a good pencil or ink drawing as much as oil paint or bars.
Don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t create.
Thanks so much!

I love handwork. It is very relaxing to sit and embroider or quilt by hand. Working the needle in and out of the fabric is calming and I love the finished project. Thank you for sharing your “loves” with us.

I love quilting! And I love my children, naturally. And I love the things that you love in your blog post. I think it’s such a shame that they are not teaching handwriting as much in schools anymore. That’s more than one thing that I love but anyway… thank you for the giveaway.

Ooh, pottery! I love finding things like that on our walks. Hah- I was helping on a dig one time of an historical homestead, and they kept finding pottery shards from all over, all different pieces and styles, and they couldn’t figure it out. Turns out, the family had a small pottery warehouse. Lol. You would have loved some of the pieces we found, I’m sure!

I love waking up to a beautiful mountain setting everyday. I love looking out the window to see if the moose slept in our backyard or not. But I currently love that every morning the mountainside changes colors… Becoming more intense with the autumn leaves. And that soon it will be another color of beautiful… Clean, crisp white.

I love it when I find inspiration for a quilt in a very unexpected manner. I have learned to carry a camera with me always so I can capture what I see. I just wish there was more time in my life to turn those inspirations into projects. Thanks!

I love the texture of fabric, the way hand or machine quilting feels as I run my hand over the fabric. I love the variances in a monotone palette, the bright pops of color in a neutral design. I love the feel of yarn, I’m a knitter too, the feel of ribbing or stockinette stitch. I love the look of handsewn or shabby chic or vintage fabrics. So much to love!

I love the smell of laundry dried outside on the clothes line. I want to bury my face in it and inhale all the sunshine. I love the way it smells after a rain storm ( we could use more of those, please.) I love cracking open a new book on a lazy summer afternoon.

I love being at the ocean feeling the wind on my face, smelling the ocean air, and listening to the water lap against the shore over and over again…..just a little piece of heaven. I love family, 50’s Rock n Roll, reading a good book, and eating a great dessert after a good meal. I love my friends and sharing my hobbies with them. To sum it up…. I love life!!

I LOVE my grandson, age 6, who is with me right now as I type. This is uber-special because he and his mom, my daughter, flew 2000 miles today to be here for 8 lovely fun and love-filled days. 🙂
I’m also uber-impressed with your thread-drawing! Love the houses.

I love my family, sewing & fabric of course, brownies, open windows, lots of color, the smell of sunshine in my children’s hair. And mostly, I love Jesus and the undeserving grace he has poured into my life! Thanks for the chance at your lovely fabric! I need to “Slow Down” more and reflect on the very words it expresses.

Above all I love my beautiful daughters! I love that I have so many interests that I don’t have time to be bored and zone out in front of the TV. I love the Autumn and Winter, and the wind in my face. I love the Redwood forests of my Northern California home, and standing on the cliffs above the ocean in the midst of a storm. I know I can’t make a comprehensive list, but that you for reminding me to think about what I love. You’ve made my day!

I love making things for my family (no children of my own but lots of nieces and nephews and children of good friends). Whether it be quilting, knitting, crocheting, I love the process of starting with wonderful ingredients and ending up with a finished piece that will be cherished long after I am gone.

I love watching through the window on a rainy day, being on the sofa with a blanket, working on whatever sewing or knitting project I have in hands, with the sound of the rain outside surrounding me 🙂
Thanks!

I love my soulmate/husband, roses, clouds, and quilting. And I do love how generous Moda is with freebies of any kind. ps: I fell madly in love with Moda lissa’s quilt using your Hearty Good Wishes. I have the fabric, now have to pick my pattern. I appreciate your talent, wow!

I love… too many things! Here are just a few. 🙂 I love the way my cat lounges in the sunshine, having dinner with my family around our large oak table, reading (I’m addicted to the written word), creating quilts from a myriad of fabrics, and that my local quilt shop owner was able to track down a copy of your book “Hearty Good Wishes”.

I love a sunny breezy day outdoors with my kiddos. I also love quiet alone time with my sewing machine. I also hunt for treasures in my backyard- I have quite a collection of glass pieces and some crock fragments– what started as a quest to pick it up so my kids wouldn’t get cut has become a quest to find more unique pieces and colors. Thanks for the chance to win!

So many things to love. I love my husband and family, and I also love my two cats. One is 20 years old so probably won’t be around much longer. I love quilting, especially the wonderful fabric collections Moda has.

I love to read blogs and find inspiring quilt pictures. Then I figure out how it was made and draft it using EQ. That is just one of the many things I love. Thank you for the opportunity to win your beautiful fabric.

I love an old old sewing machine. Friends have given me a few of those and it’s the stories they tell how that machine came into their lives.
i.e. my 57 yoa Singer was a first wedding anniversary gift for a dear friend. Her husband has since passed but she always shares stories w/me about the clothing she made for him on that machine, or the quick repairs to his work pants or the little things she sewed to spruce up her kitchen. That machine has a particular “energy” now in my sewing room.

I love that Moda does these hops. They are soo informative.
I love my husband and children most and our 4 legged family.
I love fall and can’t wait for it to come.
I love music, sewing, and all things that make me happy. I love friends and sharing.
Thank you so much for being a part of this so I can now follow you. And for offering a giveaway.

I love sewing with my granddaughter. She almost always chooses a fabric that I had planned to use for something else . . . and usually I let her have it anyway. She is very creative, and often what she wants to make finishes up quick. And lovely! These are very special times, and I’m proud of her for being such a good designer and seamstress at age 9.

I love just going outside and listening! It is amazing what you can see when you listen. I love that I have stumbled upon your blog and I love that I am not the only one who collects bits of broken china!

I love God, my family and that I can wake up each morning in this great USA. I am grateful for all those men and women who have fought for our freedom. I love all things quilting and beautiful fabrics.

What do I love? How about the tote bags that I make for the hospital’s cancer center in my area. My sister passed away last year from brain cancer so this is my way of giving back. I’m even in the mini charm club on Fat Quarter Shop to decorate the totes with awesome little pieces of happiness 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway-love the video by the way!

I love the patchwork process of cutting and sewing, flowers, bright colors, doodling, reading, giving to others, spending time with friends and family, and so many other things. I’d enjoy winning the cake which reminds me that I love chocolate, too!

I love every aspect of my life right now! So blessed because I love my Hubby (42 year anniversary Sept 9!). He puts up with my quilting addiction! I love my children, grandchildren, my work (911 Dispatcher), my home! Life is wonderful! Only thing I need more of is time to quilt!

I love my family..quirky as they are. And right now I am loving a charm pack of your ‘Hearty Good Wishes’ I have and am trying to find just the right pattern to put it to good use instead of sitting in the drawer. It will be for one of those quirky family members!

Your ink work is amazing and the bird is so sweet. Birds are one of my loves ~ just watching them when I’m in a lovely garden. I also love my grandchildren and I love making quilts for them. I love interpreting a quilt design in a different way to make my quilt my own!

I love many things; reading is probably my one ultimate love. I will read anything around me and I could care less about the topic LOL I also love my children (of course!!), painting, teaching painting and sewing of course 🙂 Thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest 🙂

I love my sweet husband who is my biggest supporter – especially when it comes to my need to “create” in the mess I call my sewing room! And always I love my babies – no matter how old they get. Looking forward to adding your fabric to my collection! Thanks –

I LOVE discovering new bloggers and designers, and now I’ve found you! I’m going to make sure I take time to enjoy your previous posts and see all of the work you’ve been doing. I love books, too, and am anxious to find out what your books are all about.

Oh, goodness! I LOVE your blog! I haven’t been here before, and I just love everything. I love birds and quilting and handwriting and old books. I’m a novelist, so fabrics with letters and words on them always interest me. “Field Guide” looks lovely.

I love your little pots made with the found dish fragments. How wonderful is that?

I love hand writing, it was the very first thing I did very well in school…not the smartest student but I have a way with my hand in writing and I have a way with color and knowing how to mix and match.
After handwriting my second creative love has been fabric,started sewing clothes for myself in my very first and only sewing class (8th grade,some 45 yrs ago!)…I’m new to quilting and love discovering all the possibles!
Love your style and site!

I love old books too! I had so many before our house burned down. I’m trying to rebuild my collection but they are so much more expensive now than they were then and I’d rather spend my money on fabric. Keep designing, you do a great job!

I love the Lord. I love my husband. I love my children. I love the beauty in God’s creation. I love the inspiration it gives me to create beautiful treasures that my family and friends can wrap themselves in. Thank you for creating beautiful fabric that also inspires me to make that happen.

I love collecting tickets from places we’ve visited, I love old postcards and photos, I love collecting memories of moments with my daughters. There was a ceramic factory where I live and there are loads of ceramic fragments washed onto the beaches of the lake! You’d have fun collecting here!

I am a science teacher and I love seeing the excitement in the face of a student who finally understands a concept. What a joy to see the pride they have when they”get it”! And if course my family and quilting!

I LOVE colour, fabrics/threads and stitching: love beach combing at Porthilly, Cornwall and wonder how I can incorporate things with your Hearty Good Wishes fabric! Above all I love my family. Thank you

I love the colors of your books, so they inspire the wordsmith in you but they inspire the color-smith in me. The soft muted blues, pinks, gold’s, grays and soft browns are fabulous. I can see a quilt in these tones.

I love the small simple pleasures that occur daily, such as a beautiful flower amongst a field of weeds, a wild rabbit who pauses long enough and close enough for me to take a picture, a cup of tea on a rainy afternoon, and that hour or two after dinner when I curl up on the couch with a good book and some dark chocolate.

I love seeing how excited my almost 3 year old is about crafting. I have created an art table for her that is full of different art supplies and pictures of artwork from famous artists. She already loves art and I hope it continues!

I love bargain shopping! Whether it is fabric, books, candles, furniture, I love shopping whether it is at the mall, thrift shops, or funky junk shops!! And even better, I LOVE winning FREE stuff!! LOL 🙂

I love my family, the sea, our pets, and almost any type of craft that involves a needle. My grandmother taught me to sew at a young age and I’ve never turned back. When quilting, I love working with colors, fabrics, designs, the construction process, whether it’s piecing or applique, and putting that last stitch into project. As my skill progresses, I find I’m now making more gifts for friends and for donations.

I love a lot of the things you do. There is something really special about writing and drawing with a fountain pen — the flow is natural and seems to be driven by something other than my hand at times. And old things of all kinds — things that were loved and used and worn to pieces. Books that have been read and reread and that have comments written in the margins and loose pages because they have been turned so often. And more.

I love my family. I love sewing and quilting – all needlework actually. I collect houses of all types – except real ones! I just have one of those. Also like chickens and have collected several china and glass chickens. Not roosters but chickens. Love your bird thread drawing.
Pauline

I love birds! I have them all over the house…not real of course! I especially love line drawings so your art appeals to me very much.
The bird drawing would make such a lovely accent embroidery on the back of a quilt!

I love raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles with warm woollen mittens Brown paper package’s tied up with string these are a few…of my favourite things….yes the dreamer in me…. :]

I love when my husband comes into my sewing room and starts poking around and pulling out fabrics he likes. Usually they are of a nautical theme and shades of blue so your Hearty Good Wishes fabrics are regularly pulled and projects suggested.

Thanks for all the inspiration.
When I am out working in the garden I save bird feathers to be incorporated in my future art projects. I’m lucky to have several road runners that frequent are backyard daily, along with a variety of other small birds that leave beautiful feathers for me to find.

I love my family obviously!But I love that they are a little older now and I get to spend a bit of selfish time doing what I want to do!Usually sewing and leaving the hoovering and washing till later!I love that my best friend is pregnant after a long struggle to conceive and hold onto a baby.Now I get to make cute baby things without having to have one myself!

I love hunting through yard sales and antique shops for antique family recipe books….where the lady of the house would make little notations in it about different ways she liked it done or about her children and grandchildren. I love the heart of the home type cook books

I love the beauty of nature where I see God’s hand in so many things. I love things of our past quilts, old furniture, crocks, dishes and primitives. But creating things with your own two hands is so great. Life is good!!!!

I love my sweet hubby and my amazing six children. I love fabric and love that they appreciate my endless hours of playing with fabric and patterns. Love flowers and gardening and so these two things are the best hobbies ever. Always something to smile about.

I love the sounds of birds early in the morning, crickets at dusk, fabric, yarn and just being creative. I love quotes, typography, fonts, words, poetry and even lyrics to songs. I love my Grandchildren, my parents & kids so much. My life is rich & full. I wish my body wouldn’t prevent some of the things I love the most.

I have just recently fallen in love with all threads in Aurifil. Of course I use white and off white but I just love the eye candy of all the colors. So I want one of each designer box. And I need to see a professional about this…. I think. I also love that MODA accepts your ink drawings for us “pen and paper” people, I think that’s wonderful!
